CLIENT: DELEÓN TEQUILA

When it came time for the world's purest and finest tequila on the
market to choose a PR Agency of Record, it made complete
sense that DeLeón Tequila chose EFG. With EFG's unparalleled
reputation and reach with trade magazines, consumer and lifestyle
press, we have given the DeLeón Tequila brand the spotlight it
deserves. This one of a kind tequila is not only the best tasting
tequila on the planet, but also the most beautiful. The gorgeous
bottle speaks volumes and so does EFG's work that has propelled
the brand to the top where it belongs.

strategy of their newsest location in Manhattan into the digital space.

MORE ONESLESS TOOS/IT ONLYTAKES ONE

CLIENT: CULT OF INDIVIDUALITY

After our successful launch of Cult of individuality in 2009 and
the continuation of being the brand's PR Agency of Record,
Cult came back to EFG for much more. This time around, the brand
needed our agency to get them to that next level and chose to
activate our creative team to conceptualize the company's first
ever advertising campaign. Since Cult had never done an ad campaign
before, EFG came up with the genius idea to start with the number
that is always first: "1." The first campaign initiated its run in
2011 with the "More Ones Less Toos" concept, and the #1Cult Campaign.
This proved to be highly lauded by the fashion industry and beyond
and EFG is currently working on the brand's 2012 concept:
"It Only Takes One" and getting ready for the 2013 campaign concept.

LAUNCH EVENT

ONE, TWOTHREE, 4,LET'SDANCE!

CLIENT: UBISOFT

Dance, Dance, Dance! After our client Ubisoft announced earlier
this year that the Just Dance series has sold 25 million units
worldwide, everyone at EFG was both extremely proud and extremely
excited that we helped launch all three games. But when we were
charged with launching Just Dance 4, we asked ourselves,
"How do we launch bigger and better than what we have done
in the last 3 years?" The answer was simple: More Celebs,
more press and more dancing, of course! EFG's event for JD4
was a HUGE success and the launch of Just Dance 4 is breaking
records already and will continue to do so. The Just Dance series
has become the best selling dance game of all time. We would like
to think that EFG's launch parties, celebrity relations, event
press had a lot to do with it. Can we do dance off now?

APP MARKETING AND PR

EVERY APPNEEDS TOCATCHFIRE

CLIENT: TINDER

With millions of new applications entering the market on a daily basis, EFG launched Tinder with a strategic PR campaign in order for the app to stand out amongst its competitors. Tinder is the first dating application of its kind as it uses one's Facebook profile in order to emulate dating in the real world. The app analyzes users' social graph to intelligently match potential candidates that are most likely to be compatible based on geographical location, number of mutual friends and amount of common interests.

EFG distinguished Tinder as the revolutionary leader in modern dating applications by introducing the app to media in the consumer, lifestyle, and tech arenas. EFG also successfully positions the co-founders, Justin Mateen and Sean Rad, in top tier entrepreneur and business trade media outlets. EFG's efforts resulted in maximizing awareness of the app to media and influencers, thus also increasing Tinder's user base by 500% in the first month alone, and continues to increase these numbers on a monthly basis.

SOCIAL MEDIA

URBANJUNGLECHECK-INCHALLENGE

CLIENT: GUESS

G by GUESS was looking for an in-store activation using mobile and
social media. EFG created an activation, which urged men and
women to check-in at any of the G by GUESS store locations to
redeem a special offer. The users checked in via Facebook Places or
Foursquare to unlock a coupon and drive their store ranking to first
place in the Urban Jungle Leaderboard. Users who checked-in
receved a coupon for $5 off or 10% off their purchase that day.
There were over 35,000 check-ins during the promotion period at 56
stores. The winning store redeemed more than 1,500 coupons during
the promotion. Facebook received over 5,000 new likes during the
promotion period.

TALENT PR

EVERY BRANDNEEDSA TEAM

CLIENT: MARK SALLING

When you are one of the most-recognizable faces on primetime television,
strategic branding is everything. Throw on top of that a breaking vocal career and
an iconic look, and a cohesive branding campaign becomes all the more
instrumental to the rise (and often unfortunately, fall) of an artist. Accurately
deemed a "triple threat," Mark Salling (Glee, Universal/Fontana Recording Artist)
has consistently been featured in publications in line with his vision, while
landing branded campaigns that continue to perpetuate the "Mark Salling" brand.
Masculine, high-fashion and gritty, his press placements include GQ, Vogue,
Vanity Fair and Paper, while his endorsements engage the masses with
partnerships from Wrigley and Samsung, to Guess, Inc. and Express - where
fans can dress like GQ model at the price of a Glee DVD. Rising stars and
established figures alike need veteran teams who can bridge together the various
components of an artist's brand, and lucky for them, EFG has built a reputation
as one of the best in the business for branded talent publicity.

EVERY BRANDSHOULD HAVEA STORY

CLIENT: STIRLING

A Hong Kong based client who had recently acquired a stake
in a distiller was looking to create an entirely new kind of
brand. With no history or existing identity, EFG was
commissioned to create the entire brand identity from crafting
the story behind the brand to creating the logo, the bottle, the
packaging and the launch strategy. Given little to no direction,
the EFG team set out to create the story that would become a
successful design model and the start of a new beginning. We
pride ourselves on providing excellent design to the client that
allowed themselves to stand above the competition.

TECH MARKETING AND PR CONSULTING

ONLINELEARNINGTHROUGHKALIBRR

CLIENT: KALIBRR

The original founder approached EFG 18 months ago with an idea to make a change. Over the next 18 months EFG advised and helped shape the company that is now Kalibrr. Kalibrr is an online learning center that gets you a job. Kalibrr's goal is to close the global skills gap that has created millions of educated underemployed and unemployed people.

They partner with companies to reverse engineer a job description into a series of skills you need to have and tasks you need to be able to do. This becomes the curriculum a user learns and tests against to qualify (instead of applying) for a job. For users, the service is absolutely free. Once a user qualifies for a job, they refer that candidate to one of their partner companies. Their first market is the Philippine BPO industry, which is dominated by MNCs like Accenture and IBM. Kalibrr recently got accepted to the prestigious Y-Combinator program headed by Paul Graham.

NON-PROFIT EVENT PR

CLIENT: FAMILY EQUALITY COUNCIL

EFG was hired to execute the Family Equality Council's annual awards dinner in LA, which honors notables in the world of arts, entertainment, politics, and the lesbian,
gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community for their efforts to advance equality for all families. EFG handled press invites, red carpet arrivals, provided staffing, booked in-house photographer and facilitated all photo opportunities and press interviews.

Following the event, EFG saturated the media with post event press. The event was featured in several news stories and photo galleries across both print and online platforms. Following the success of FEC's LA awards dinner, EFG was hired to execute FEC's red carpet event in New York - the annual "Night At The Pier" event. EFG successfully executed both events securing a total of a billion media impressions combined for both events.

EVERY BRANDSHOULD BEA DESTINATION

CLIENT: LG

After a HUGE success with LG MALIBU the previous year, LG
decided to continue the idea of creating a destination that
highlighted the brand in a unique way and thus LG VILLA CABO was
born. Only a 2 hour flight from Los Angeles, Cabo San Lucas Mexico
was the backdrop of the Villa where celebrities and press could
experience LG products up close and personal such as their phones,
washers and dryers and refrigerators. We all know getting A list
celebrities and press taking a trip is not necessarily easy so EFG was
once again tasked with making sure that the LG Villa Cabo was
experienced by the likes of Channing Tatum to Ryan Seacrest and
photos were seen in People magazine to Entertainment Tonight.

CELEBRITY ON-BOARDING AND LAUNCH STRATEGY

START THECONVERSATIONWITH ACELEBRITY

CLIENT: AD.LY

Ad.ly approached EFG in 2009 when it was just an idea that was starting to take form. EFG spent 12 months developing and fine-tuning the concept with the ad.ly partners and venture capital firms to create the largest and most recognized in-stream advertising platform that matches top-tier Twitter publishers with high profile brands. Getting celebrities and brands involved was a constant struggle and cried out the story of what came first, the chicken or the egg.

As this was a brand new arena for both brands and celebrities alike, managers and agents needed to be educated about the process and the opportunities. EFG developed an outreach program that secured high-profile influencers and celebrities and successfully signed up the top 50 celebrities on ad.ly with many of them having 1 million+ followers, far exceeding the nearest competitor.
